Can I get the old Millenium as upgrade to my old Genius 3, and then the new
upgrade of Millenium? Perhaps I will save something like that, Or even get the
new Milleniun price direct, due to my old Genius 3!?
But honestly, The regular price seems a bit too much. All I need is Shredder
itself, And I might wait a few months to see if that is true-too.
